Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which helps Christians in the Holy Land. In these times of crisis, the wars, unrest, and instability have been especially hard on Christians. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection provides humanitarian aid to refugees, among other things (see the full article). Please be generous!

This means that all Catholics 18 to 59 years of age are restricted to one full meal. Two lesser meals are permitted. All Catholics over 14 years of age must abstain from meat (and soup or gravy made from meat).
